Hey

As most of you know I'm a big fan of Todd Snider. I get very nervous around him. So, I gave up on meeting him, because every time I stand next to him I can't seem to speak. I have had 2 pictures taken with him, hugged him, looked right at him, but could not say all the things that I think of 2 seconds afterwards. And I mean I got some good things to say, not cheesy bullshit like "i love you todd". But, I'm a pussy. Or as Todd puts it when talks about what it would be like for him to meet Bob Dylan, "I wouldn't want to Bob Dylan, what could you say? It would be like staring at the sun".

Last night a Gruene Hall I went to see Todd Snider. Paul, Lisa and George were there saving seats for Joe and I. 2 minutes after I saw down Paul asks me "do you wan to go meet Todd?" My initial response was "No". Then, I'm like "um, what? where?" long story short, I follow Paul outside with Lisa and George to have a meet and greet with Todd. A I was standing there, I was like, wait, what am doing here, I don't want to do this". I went back to my seat and waited for the show to start.

The show was awesome. We had a blast, It was extra fun sitting next to George, it was just like old times back in NYC when we would go to shows all the time together.

After the show Joe decided that he was going to pull Todd aside to have him take a picture with me. I repeatedly say "no". Joe was determined. Todd walks by us and Joe says, "Hey Todd, take a picture with the girl, would ya". Todd replies, "Sure!".

Now, apparently the flash wasn't set to on on my camera so I can't really blame Paul for this picture. But, all in all, it's pretty much perfect and captured the moment in true honesty.
